In the Final Fantasy series, each protagonist is shaped by the relationships around them and the burdens they carry. This rings especially true for Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy 16 and Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy 15. Both characters face immense personal tragedies, thrust into roles of responsibility that demand great sacrifice. Their journeys also emphasize their strong bonds with the people they care about, making their fates not just a personal struggle, but a shared one.
